Varenna is home to Italy's shortest river, the Fiumelatte. Only 250 meters long, it rushes, frothy and milky-white (hence the name) down the rockface and crashes into the lake. From the end of March to the end of October each year. And then it stops - just like that. Leonardo da Vinci climbed down to find out where the water came from. But neither he, nor anyone else, has ever been able to work it out. Varenna is one of the most picturesque towns on the lake, its steep winding alleys lined with charming homes, flowering balconies and lace-curtained windows. Just above it is the ancient castle where Theodolinda, Queen of the Lombards, is said to have died in the 7th century. Two famed villas to visit here are Villa Cipressi, with terraced gardens cascading right down to the shores, and Villa Monastero, a true showcase. Skiing in the area is bountiful; resorts such as Madesimo, only 1.15 hr north of Colico and the local ski resort of Piani di Bobbio, only 40 mins away.

Review Submitted: October 13, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
Harold & Friends @ Happy Holiday Homes -

When we arrived in Milan, the two apartments we had reserved fell through.
We had to spend several days in hotels until we could sort out an appropriate reservation. As I was on leave from work in Iraq, I was concerned about leaving my wife and children so far away from Milan. As they are beginning one year of study abroad in Italy, getting a foothold was critical.

Happy Holiday Homes was a life saver.

Not only did you welcome us to Varenna, but you took care of our every need with class and professionalism. When I visited the office, I was treated not like a client, but a friend. It is truly a pleasure to find people who embody the best in customer service. The home was lovely. While we had the opportunity to meet the owners, please convey our gratitude for wonderful accommodations. Well done! I look forward to coming back in the months and years ahead.

I would strongly recommend friends, clients and associates to you and commit to do so in the months ahead.

A sincere gratitude from my family and I.

Warmest regards
